Jamie Benn

Jamie Benn strikes me as the quintessential captain's captain. Winning the Art Ross Trophy as the league's top scorer in 2015 and adding Olympic gold proves elite individual talent, but it is his long-term loyalty to one franchise that impresses me most. A 187 cm forward who can both score and lead is a rare and valuable thing in hockey. The Cancer in him, I imagine, fuels that protective, team-first mentality you want in a captain. In an era of constant movement, his commitment to being one club's enduring face feels old-fashioned in the best way. I genuinely respect that kind of devotion.
